I have been to 40 states so far, and can't really tell one from the other. In 05 for 10 months into 06 my wife and I toured the USA leaving NH looking for a better place. We didn't find one, so we returned to NH. I am familar with the area, and can live off the land as if there were no civization as Indigo Light said.
However since I started in on this converstaion I have been running a low fever, my head is in a fog, and I have a upper respritory infection.
I was taken to the doc's yesterday as I am totally unfit to drive currently. So in a instance of no meds on or about 2012 I would just be dead, no matter what I know.
Christi there is no doubt you stand a chance, and maybe New England offers that chance, but I can't know that. For all I know New England will be ground zero for what ever happens if anything.
For all my life NE was a Soviet target, and we would have been amoungst the first to be gone at the stroke of mid-night on the Atomic Clock.
I looked at that problem when it was a problem, and found a few places that man might survive the direct attack, but probably still would extend life for not much more than a month.
One place is the Giants Stairs in the White Mountains National Forest. It has 2 water sources and commands a 270 degree view being up higher than most surrounding lands. It isn't easy to get there either, but could only serve the purpose with warning, and just be a place to take shelter short term.
The how I know is people were there in the hurricane of 1938 and recored there was a light misty rain with mild winds.
On the other side of that valley there is still blow down scars in rock, and smashed dead trees. All anyone has to do to see that is hike up the Nancy Brook Trail to the height of land.
I was assuming the targets would have been coastal NYC, Boston, the air base now gone in Portsmouth NH, the Navey bases there and others in Maine, plus the assorted Nike' bases up and down the coast. And of course Dover Foxcroft Maine, defunct now as well.
But that is a poltical thing as war just is. Somehow I had a big problem that it would really happen because Canada would take a hit for no reason, and I don't think anyone is that stupid to nuke another innocent country, knowing the effect, unlike in WW-2 when no one understood.
I do have family photos with family members standing with nothing to protect them on the first A bombs tests, which to me proves they had no idea of the danger present. I mean just standing out in the open not even a concrete wall ahead of them.
All that is pointless if what ever happens is an act of God/Nature.
Now if you just want to move here that's fine, but you just might be moving to ground zero.
This area has a bad fault line no one ever talks about starting at the Ossipee Ring D i k e (nannied word) that runs to Plum Island in Mass, and into the Atlantic. This fault is way over due to break.
A ring d i k e is of course a volcano, this one is deader than dead, and probably can never be active again, but never the less it sits on a nasty little fault line.
Quakes in NE are felt harder for a lot less power generated than out west. Probably a 4.8 here is about equal to a 8.5 in Cal due to the rock base we have here.
I have no idea what will happen if the poles swap, and with it the magnetic field we have that shelters us from gamma rays.
With that all I can assume is the field wouldn't just simply swap over and would be more like several magnets all fighting one another over a short period of earth time, meaning a few thousand years.
Man years are another count, and in earth years we are just a few seconds on the earth clock ticked off.
As I see it either way, a fool with his finger on the BUTTON, or a world wide Natural disaster, disease will be the real enemy even for those who could live off the land.
The end result is there is no better place to be. For all I know Antarctica will be the place to be. It could end up as a nice sunny beach like Jamacia no? The only problem there is it could take 5,000/10,000 years to get that way, and no one can live that long to find out.
I don't see that I have any clear advantage at all. I don't see anyone with a barrel full of money having any either.
All I can really say is i will try to survive it, and if i do I am gonna be King!
